Jeff Bezos' aerospace company - Blue Origin - will launch its eighth tourist mission into space on Thursday.
The flight will take six passengers on an 11-minute walk over the Karman Line, an internationally recognized boundary of space. It will mark the eighth manned flight of the New Shepard rocket and will lift off from Launch Site One in West Texas at 6:30 am Indian time.
The company said that so far 37 people have traveled to space from New Shepard, including Jeff Bezos. The six people going on the New Shepard rocket include Nikolina Illrich, Rob Farl, Eugene Grin, Dr. Iman Jahangir, Karsen Kitchen, and Ephraim Rabin. Among these, Karsen Kitchen will become the youngest woman to cross the Karman line.
At the same time, Farl will be the first NASA-funded researcher to conduct experiments as part of a commercial suborbital space team. During this time, the experiment conducted by Farl will help scientists understand how plant genes react to microgravity and the transition from it.
